    <dd>In :before or :after pseudo-elements, the 'display' property
       can be set to "marker" to allow content to be paired with other
       content (usually iteratively, such as with the 'list-style-type'
       property behavior. An element's content creates a "principal"
       rendering box. The "marker" for the "principal" box should be
       formatted in a single-line outside the "principal" box. The "marker"
       box should allow the border and padding properties, but not margins.
       <br><br>

       The 'marker-offset' property gives a horizontal distance between
       the marker box and the "principal" rendering box, measured between
       the adjacent neighboring edges of the two boxes.

<ul>
    <li>CSS2 says that the Marker box should only be rendered if the 'content'
        property for the 'before:' or 'after:' pseudo-element actually generates content.
</ul>

    <li>Nothing to report.
